To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, MATTHEW STEEL, Jr., a subject of the King olil Greet Britain and Ireland, residing at Gosorth, in the county' of Northumberland; England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carbureters; and I do heieby declare the following to he e full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli es will enable others skilled in the ert to which it appertains to make and use the seme.

My invention relates to ineens for sup plying air to carbureters, and the object of my invention is to supply oir in zisfinely divided condition for cerbureters intended for general use, such as for lighting, heating and power purposes, and for shops, :motor cars, etc.

With this object in-vview, my invention consists in the construction and combinetions of parts as hereinafter described end claimed.

In the accompanying drawing-Figure i is a vertical section through the oerbureter, showing the air drum and air nozzles. Fig; 2 is a horizontal section of the seme. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on an enlarged seele lthrough an air nozzle and porous pads, and

F ig. 4 is e top View of the seme.

d represents the earbureter which may he of any suitable construction or shape, but is shown in the drawings es cylindrical. Within the carbureter, neer the bottom thereof, is ,a list cylindrical vessel or oir drum e, through which air is supplied through e. pipe e from any suitable source of supply, either hot or cold oir being used, es desired, and the carburetor may rest upon a hot Water tank, the upper part of which is shown in Fi l.

o is the oi? feed pipe.

f represents a pipe through which the corbureted air is delivered to the place oit consumption, end o represents en oil e regulator consisting of e tube which rosy be screwed up and down :is fully described 1n my companion application, Serial i No.

429,008, filed April e4, ieee.

On the top of the air drum `ure located a, number of air nozzles through which tir eirl is admittee to the eerhureter. Each o these consists of a tube e3, open et both d and perforated near its center. The io. er end of the tube is riveted .er seeured 'to the top et the sir drum, and the upper end :of

Specioaton of Letters Patent. -Patgnited Sept, 14, 1909 Application led April 24, i968.

Serial No. 429,009.

said tube is screw-threaded and engages o serewthreaded boss ou the cylinder e2, closed et the top and open at the bottom and substantially surrounding the tube e.

e* representen series of porous pads which are held between the lower lexpended end of the cylinder @2 and the upper wall of .the air drum e.

The porous pads e4 'are immersed, or pertially immersed in the oil which comes in through the feed regulating pipe b. The pressure on the pads e? 1s regulated, by screwing the cylinder e2 up or down.

The air under'pressure passes out through the pertorations in the side of the pipe e3 into the cylinder e2 and thenl passes through the porous pads, which are saturated with oil. As both the oil and air are in e tlnely divided state as the latter is driven through the pads, the result is that the evolved mixture is more equable in quality, volatility and density, while the small quantity of oil inthe carbureter at one time renders accidents less probable and less dengerous, if they should occur.

Claim.

i. ln e eerbureter, the ,combination of an inolosing vessel provided with en oil inlet and e. ges outlet and means for supplying1 air to said vessel, including a pipe leading into said vessel from an air supply, en eir drum into which said pipe delivers air, and e series of cylinders and porous pads hetween seid cylinders and air drum, substantielly es described.

Q. ln e carbureter, the combination of an inclosing` vessel, en oil pipe leadin into seid vessel, a ges discharge pipe leeJ ing from seid vessel, an air drum located near the bottom of seid vessel, an air pipe leading into said drum, e series of short ipes provided with perforetions for the a mission of sir into the oorbureter, cylinders atteehed, to I iooVV e from Jche lower ends of said cylinders and said air drum, :ind meunsfor warming seid vessel, substantially as described.

4. In a' csrbureter, the coinbinnlion of :in inclosing Vessel7 an oil pipe lending into said Vessel, :i gas discharge pipe leading from said vessel, :in nir drinn lo ated near the bob tom of said vessel, :in air pipe leading into seid drinn, e series olfsliort pipes provided with perfor-ations for lh! admission of 'nir in'o the carbufeter, cylinders attached to one end of said pipe7 and porous pads between the lower ends of said cylinders and 'said air drinn, .and ineens for regulating the supply of oil to said Vessel, substantially as described.

ln u, Carlini-euer, the combination of an ineiesing vessel, un oil pipe leading into said vessel, :i gas discharge pipe leading from said rcssel, an air drum located neer theboi' toni of said vessel, en air pipe lending intol seid drinn, a series of short pipes provided will] perforutions for the admission of ail.' 4from said drum into said izirbureler, cylinders adjust-ably secured to one end of said pipes, respectively, and porous pads between (lie lower ends of said cyiinders und saidv air drum, the pressure on said pads being varied by screwing said cylinders in either direction, substantially :is described.
